Unhappy with screen quality?

Does the lack of resolution bother anyone else? Dont get me wrong, the GS phones have amazing screens and beautiful colors, and was happy to move to the E4GT from the Evo, but the jaggies are killing me!
I've viewed two other phones, and all three have been about the same. It is definitely something that most people wouldn't complain about but i know there's got to be others that share my disdain.
Edge of icons, subtle shading, and the very noticeable grid pattern on a mid-gray screen are what catch my eye.
This wasn't meant to be a rant, just wanted to see if anyone else notices what seems to have been corners cut by stretching this screen over the international version.
Comments, hate mail, patches/fixes are all welcome. lol

At first I didn't like it (coming from the photon and evo3d) but now Im used to it. I really don't have a problem with it anymore. I do like the size.

love the colors on the AMOLED, prefer the QHD resolution though

You can get an app to change your LCD density if you want.

Changing the density doesn't fix it, may make it less apparent, but its still there.
Is there a technical reason the pixel grid is so noticeable?

I don't see any pixelation some people are complaining about. Most people zoom in to make images bigger on these phones anyways but I don't have to do that with this phone because of it's screen size.

[Q]Verizon rainbow wallpaper vs GSM rainbow wallpaper?

Notice a difference between the two? Can anyone post up the Verizon version? If you look at the two together, the GSM version doesn't pop as much.

thank you. I just wanna know. Have you guys noticed that?

Do you actually have the wallpaper or are you just looking at a picture of the screen?

the (stock) pictures of the Z model are photos-hoped/rendered.
wait until you see a hands-on with the device with that wallpaper. and than see if there is indeed a difference.
though i doubt there is.

I noticed the same thing. I think maybe the ones in the ads were enhanced. Either way I have seen the wallpaper before. Looks like they a couple of these and modified them: www hongkiat com/blog/30-impressive-colour-spectrum-and-rainbow-wallpapers/

I've been waiting for this for awhile now, it'll be interesting to see how functional it actually is.
It's definitely pretty though.

At first I wasn't impressed....but as I watched the video all the way through.... :O......

wont see it until much longer i suppose...is it for tablets i believe......alot of people will stop theming after this..

From my understanding its for both.

Looks nice
But I find the icons reminiscent of the ios box style.
Price will be a factor too.
No way I'd pay more than 5-6$ for it. (spb decent but $$$)
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

hmm. I thought it reminded me of a combination of ios/ubuntu

looks nice if they don't tax 2 much for it ill buy it

Hope they don't overprice it like spb

seems cool but I can't stand having all the icons square. thats the reason i left iOS. All square icons is super boring.

Carriers should take note. All carriers should use this method to provide a unique customer experience. Just look what can be done! They should NOT modify the underlying OS and it should be easily uninstallible.

I agree to an extent. It's nowhere near as bad as HTC's Sense which is so deeply ingrained within Android that it is bloated. Touchwiz is not nearly as bad as Sense but still a bit intrusive. Hopefully they won't botch the ICS update with too much Touchwiz.
Anywho, I saw this video a couple months back and was fairly impressed. Seems like the perfect launcher for MIUI.

Sick I will be purchasing it
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

OMG....
I will buy this even if they charge $ 1000 for it..... well you got the idea. This is freakin awesome. This should be the official android 5, or 6 launcher. Looks quite complicated but i would love the fun of getting used to it.
Anyone knows the price range that will be?

I wana try too. But how much it goona be 15 bucks like SPB shell!!??

I second this.
It does look pretty incredible. I'll be curious to try it, but like others have said price will be an issue. I've already paid for ADW EX and LPP so buying yet another home replacement app almost seems silly. On the other hand, both the launchers I'm using are ridiculously slow with adding features so this could really get a lot of purchases at the right price point.

Looks cluttered and chaotic...think I'll stick with my Go Launcher ICS theme personally. No offense to those who like this of course. Kind of curious about the size of this app...

Yea I agree about the icons. I do love all the options that I have with go launcher and that I can select different icons for any of my icons depending on how many themes I have. But I look forward to seeing the progress of this launcher

It would be worth if you spend an hour here on hox forum, an hour on sgs3 forum, and 3-4 minutes to search XDA...

Been reading but I still can't decide...
Those who had the sgs3, why did you changed to htc one x?
Thanks.

In my opinion there is no difference between the phones, other than the look and the homescreens etc.
Sense and Touchwiz are the biggest differences, if you like TouchWiz get the s3 if you like sense get the HOX?

My most concern is battery.
I have great options with sgs3, not only the battery last longer but i can hava a backup battery.
That's why im having second thoughts and feel more inclined to the sgs3... However money is holding me a bit.

Totally agree, if you went on aesthetics alone then the HOX would win hands down.
The S3 looks like a washed up pebble, coated in starfish poo. (Plasticy?)

Best features

I am upgrading in one month and trying to see what people love about their GALAXY Note II. I see too many "we don't have this or that." Here i would like to see what the defining features (beside the S-Pen) that would cause someone to choose this device over another.
So please, tell me why you bought the device and why you love it! Please keep it clean and fun for all!

The we don't have this or that threads are people just being nitpicky #FirstWorldPains?
It's an amazing device.... the screen is beautiful 5.55" of a NONPENTILE Super AMOLED, stellar battery life. The quad core exynos CPU and jelly bean makes the user experience super fluid. People are also saying that the phone is too big but personally that's why I like it so much - it makes my old iPhone4S look like a toy.

After 8 hours of ownership, screen size is my fav feature so far.

Pixel density is lower but gs3 is pentile I believe. This has some hybrid pixel arrangement. Though, I never saw a gs3.

Yes the arrangement is PenTile, so in theory it should look similar. But I was just wondering if it also appeared the same in person

Thought it would be the screen, but it is actually the battery life.

Honestly I think I'm still in partial shock that I'm walking around with a Quad Core in my pocket. There's something ridiculous about that... also the display and once Sprint LTE kicks in in SF, I'm going to be lording it over my colleagues.

Yes i can't wait for LTE down here in Riverside. Supposedly it's going active in April/May. Do you know if SF is part of LAs release schedule?

Battery life, screen and the looks from everyone when they compare their iphone to this beast
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Best feature this phone has is Android. Hands Down.
Slap a giant screen on an iPhone and it still is tied to iOS. Can't fix that one.
But on the serious side, the best feature to me, is the marriage of a Large screen and the extra sensitive S Pen. The large screen is great, but anyone can do a large screen. And an S Pen is great too, but it would be crap on a screen any smaller than 5" or so. Can you even imagine trying to use an S Pen on a screen the size of iPhone?
Everything else that Sammy did to make the S Pen and Screen marriage work well is important too, as without all the other pieces, this phone would leave something to complain about.

Awesome screen, awesome battery, so much horsepower and gps that really works (coming from ET4G that never locked)...
This is the best phone I've owned.

No idea unfortunately... I think SF is going to be a slow deployment though. Doubt Sprint will risk burdening a popular city with a crappy upgrade.
